A 2023 state law requires a yearlong expulsion for any student who threatens mass violence on school property. But some students have been kicked out even when school officials determined that the threat was not credible.
Something I often think about: when people make obviously wrong and very public decisions like this, do they have to hear about it from people they know personally? Like, do this principal’s friends know how funny it would be to insist on using a finger gun gesture every time they see him for the rest of his life? And the joy of getting to explain the joke every time you introduce to him to anyone…
Maybe this is why I don’t have that many friends, lmao.

On the bright side, the friends you do have probably wouldn’t expel a kid for finger guns.
I agree but then logically, surely there’s more yo the story? If something is too ridiculous to be true then it makes me very suspicious.
Have you been hiding under a rock for the last decade?
No, quite the reverse. Ridiculous stories in the news often turn out to be clickbait when you dig deeper.
“Woman sues mcdonalds over hot coffee!”
“Scientist studying the thickness of custard!”
Maybe it’s because I’m British and I’m used to our batshit crazy tabloid newspapers.
